I am not sure but the other day when I was at the shop they had a few basses with rounded pick up covers very similar to Bartolini pick up casings.

They were very nice and comfortable to play. They mentioned that will be the new standard on all their basses.

This makes sense since they did this with the 4 banger soaps as well. I like the new sleek look.
Nice touch especially if you put these soaps in the traditional JJ placement!

This may be an odd question, but I'll ask it anyway after some background info:

After I got my MV4 in 9/06, I got a Sadowsky NeoStrap and love it. This has the brand name about 3 1/2" up from the end of the cloth part of the strap.

I loved it so much that I got a second NeoStrap in 8/10, last summer. This one has the brand logo only 1" up from the end of the cloth.

Ever since I bought the second one, there's a chemical-y aroma emanating from the strap that irritates my upper respiratory/upper chest area like some harsh cleaning materials can. While not as strong as last August, it still bothers me each time I use it--as recently as at a jam last night.

I was hoping this would've gone away by now, and I sure don't recall this with my first Sadowsky strap.

Has any other Neo Strap owners encountered this problem? Does the smell/irritant eventually go away?

I used to use Comfort Straps, but they changed their original "formula" too, and I didn't like the stylistic changes--though not for any type of chemical-y smell. As I said, I love that first Neo I got in 2006.

Oh, well--just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced something like this with their Neo Strap. What's a similar product, because I don't think I'm keeping this second strap... If these types of aromas don't bother you, PM me an offer! (It's a medium length strap--cont. US only.)

Thanks for the time--and ideas.

I never found any odors with the neoprene straps but found that I get contact dermatitis. It doesn't bother me when I'm wearing several layers of shirts but when I'm wearing just a t-shirt I get a rash over my shoulder where the strap contacts. :hmm:

What about <matching headstock> with figured wood?

I don't recall ever seeing a Sadowsky with a matching veneer on the headstock, so I'm going to guess they don't do that. It's either painted to match an opaque painted body, or it's natural wood.
